This was purchased at an exhibition held in the Sony Tower Building in Osaka in 1997. It is number 13 of a limited edition of 90. Taro Hakase, who now collaborates with high-end watchmakers, said, "It was my dream to one day have a watch bearing my name released by a prestigious brand." This is the first wristwatch designed by Taro Hakase. As he travels the world, he often looks at his watch. He designed the dial with a motif of a gentle-faced moon, hoping that every time he looked at it, he would be able to maintain composure by thinking, "Don't rush, don't rush." I hope Taro Hakase would be happy to know that this watch is being kept in this condition. ^_^ Battery is dead, completely unused. There is some age-related deterioration. Extremely rare item, in excellent condition, dead stock. I want to sell it to someone who will cherish it, so I have set a high price. If you have a budget, please comment m(_ _)m
